Damn, that looks good!
And I love the silver tint from the factory tint on the S Class, even with aftermarket tint. Nice look.

Looking at the wheels i cringe because im a performance oriented individual and the wheels scream HEAVY ( 24lbs each ) Thats alot of rotating mass but not everyone is into performance. But all in all the car looks AMAZING and tastefully modded with the right touch.

Is that weight from HRE? Still probably lighter then stock wheels eh?

I didn't have much luck finding stock weights but it isn't the only factor, in order to roughly calculate your losses you also need the moment of inertia; moving it away from the center of rotation is obviously a bad thing.
Realistically... This is the S Class and no one bought in for the performance potential. Meanwhile, the OP is clearly interested in the aesthetic over the inherent downsides and said as much; I'd say let a man have his day in the sun and save the performance considerations for another thread(s).

I did it myself and it was a huge PIA

IMO hardly noticeable. If anything, a small increase in road noise due to less rubber. I'll look into the rear diffuser, but I think I'm done with her for now.
